Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This captive panel screw system addresses critical challenges in electronic enclosures, instrumentation panels, and industrial equipment where secure fastening and repeated access are essential. The zinc-plated steel construction combined with the 18-8 stainless steel retainer creates a durable assembly that withstands environmental exposure while maintaining panel retention integrity. The quarter-turn captive panel screw design eliminates loose hardware concerns in field service scenarios, while the press fit nut technology ensures permanent mounting without additional fastening components. Engineered for precise fit within specified panel thickness ranges (0.07" to 0.09"), this solution reduces installation time and prevents assembly errors in high-volume production environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This captive panel screw assembly features a 3/8" head diameter with 0.198" shank diameter and 0.48" overall length, designed for inner panel hole diameter of 0.437" and outer panel hole diameter of 0.25". The system accommodates minimum space between panels of 0.01" and panel thickness minimum inner of 0.037". Manufacturing compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental standards, ensuring suitability for global industrial applications requiring regulated material compliance.
